FMCW Base Module - Teaching Material

The following video shows the algorithms Moving Target Indication (MTI) , MTI with post processing, Moving Target Detection (MTD) as well as MTD with Doppler filter, applied on raw data of a 24 GHz FMCW.

In this short video we visualize movements of a person in front of a training radar. We apply range FFT, source suppression, a threshold and a PPI. We also look at the movements in an A-Scope.

Within minutes we can replace the 8 GHz Pulse unit on top of the radar box with a a 24 GHz FMCW radar. We can analyze the FMCW with FreeScopes. Here is how it works.

With FreeScopes 7, SkyRadar's 24 GHz FMCW training radar can be applied as simply as the NextGen Pulse radars. The students can concurrently and independently apply the Fast Fourier Transform in their browsers and switch between frequency and time domain, just as needed.

More and more users want to access our radar raw data and read out IQ data directly. Having the raw data in a well digestible data format makes it easy to do the further treatment in any numerical computing environment. Research on new algorithms on real-time data becomes comfortable and powerful.

Release 6 of SkyRadar's educational radars brings innovation in hardware and software, in the Cloud architecture and and in the system openness. And yes, it is promised - we keep the prices down.

Following the PSR, SkyRadar now presents the fully redesigned FMCW radar training system. It has enhanced resolution, many more features, unlimited concurrent users, a plug-an-play approach. The good news, it remains as economical as the previous version.

SkyRadar has completely reworked the FreeScopes Software to respond on requirements of ATC qualification programs (ATCO & ATSEP), as well as University Education (education, exercises, research). Flexibel panels for the scope and filter application per scope boost FreeScopes light-years ahead of any other tool in the market. This document refers to the FreeScopes software of the releases 6.x for the FMCW radar.
